George Grizzard
Actor
A frequent interpreter of Edward Albee's work, he appeared in the original production of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (as George, naturally). An early success was 1962's Advise and Consent (with a very young Betty White). The prolific actor, Grizzard played Judge Dan Haywood in a stage production of Judgment at Nuremberg opposite Maximilian Schell under the production of actor Tony Randall in 2001. Grizzard also appeared as Big Daddy in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Kennedy Center in 2004, and his last film appearance was in Clint Eastwood's Flags of Our Fathers.
His partner of nearly 40 years was William Tynan, also a stage and TV actor.
